Abstract

A number of proteins are known to interact with huntingtin (htt), the Huntington's disease (HD) protein. Understanding the function of these htt‐associated proteins could help elucidate the pathogenesis of HD and the role that htt plays in the disease process. The present review focuses on one such protein, huntingtin‐associated protein 1 (HAP1), which has proved to be involved in intracellular trafficking. Unlike huntingtin, which is expressed ubiquitously throughout the brain and body, HAP1 is enriched in neurons, suggesting that its dysfunction could contribute to the selective neuropathology in HD. HAP1 binds microtubule‐dependent transporters that engage anterograde or retrograde transport and also associates with a variety of organelles and membrane receptors. This raises the interesting issue of how the HAP1 trafficking function is regulated. We discuss recent evidence for the involvement of HAP1 in intracellular trafficking as well as potential mechanisms that may regulate its trafficking. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

In this study we investigated the regulation of CXCR1 and CXCR2 intracellular trafficking. First, we produced a chimeric CXCR2 receptor that contained the internalization motifs of both CXCR2 and CXCR1 (CXCR2: LLKIL sequence; CXCR1: C-terminal phosphorylation sites). Elevated levels of internalizati

Rapsyn is a protein that interacts with the cytoplasmic face of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChR) to cluster them within postsynaptic membrane of muscle. Here we show that intracellular AChRs are also affected by rapsyn. When rapsyn was co-transfected with AChR into QT-6 fibroblasts, 125
